Campaign website- Bill Goichberg for USCF Executive Board
Thanks for visiting my campaign
website! I'm running for the US Chess Federation Executive Board in an
election to be held by mail in June and early July 2005. Four of the
seven Executive Board seats are being filled this year, and all USCF Voting
Members (those age 16 or over who are current members in June) are eligible to
vote. All Board members are elected at large; the Board subsequently will
choose its own officers. Ballots will appear in the June issue of Chess
Life magazine.
Candidates are
allowed a 150 word statement in the April Chess Life and 500 words in both the
May and June issues. That's far less than needed for a serious discussion
of issues, so I will present additional material on this website.

If you support me, please also vote for Joel Channing,
Robert Tanner, and Greg Shahade.

NEW BALLOTS SENT
Some ballots in the June Chess Life are missing the preprinted voter info on the
back.
New ballots were mailed to all voters.
If your ballot was missing the voter info and you wrote it in, originally your vote was to not count, but
this has been changed and it will be counted.
If you vote twice, only the ballot from Chess Life will be counted.
